Looking for a recommended best dash cam, and how you hooked it up.

Bit of a dashcam snob here. If you want the best, look at Vantrue, Thinkware, and BlackVue lineup. The Vantrue N2 Pro is my favorite dual-camera, high quality sensor, solid build quality, reasonable price model. The BlackVuew DR900s is the top dog if you want to spend baller money.

I use a go pro. You can pick up one of the older models for pretty cheap on the secondary market

I use Thinkware F800 Pro and it makes a good video. They have also came out with a Q800 Pro that is 2040 pixels.

My first dash cam is the only one I've used. It's in my DD and is a feature on my Garmin 51LMT HD w/backup camera. (see my vids below posted in 1080p)

On my C5 I'm going to wait and change to a double din and add wired front and rear cams all at the same time.
